So much for my hubris...

My ass is still hurting from the exam I just took. And, tell me if you can, why did I arrive ten minutes late even though I was up 2hrs earlier (studying something else) and why was I the only one to forget that it was an OPEN BOOK exam?

Of course, having my notes and the books would not have been much use to me. After the first book (which took three weeks), he's stopped lecturing. We've done a book (and supplemental articles) a week and it's all been discussions. My notes are emaciated.

Maybe everyone else thought it was as hard as I did. It was his FIRST exam as a Professor. Hopefully that will be taken into account. And as we were drawing to the end of the exam, only one kid had already left, and he left so early that he couldn't possibly have finished the exam. He must have left because he couldn't answer the questions. The Prof asked if he'd made the test too long and the whole class nodded in unison. Yet another thing he will hopefully take into account.

The Midterm is only a 5th of my grade, and I'll go to class more often in this second half of the term, so maybe the Final won't be quite so merciless? This is where you nod and smile.
